Maybe you just don’t feel right. Living in denial is certainly an option but it is likely that once you start to notice the symptoms it is probable that you’re already very sick. Before you run to the store for some over the counter quick fix, you might think about the natural remedies for your cold that are already in your home.
Natural health solutions are a more than reasonable alternative to the chemicals you’ll find at your pharmacy. We won’t tell you to ignore your doctor but before you schedule the appointment, why not try a natural remedy for a couple of days and see if it works?
Pure water is the way to go.
Water can do more than simply keep you hydrated and keep your thirst quenched. When you have a headache, try drinking some water instead of heading for the aspirin or Advil bottle. Many headaches start because of dehydration.
Instead of waiting a long time for the drugs to take effect, drinking a glass of water will help you feel better in just a few minutes. While water is great for hydration it is great for other things too.
When you have a fever, for example, take a hot bath – keep a cold compress on your head but let yourself sit in the hot bath for a while. The heat helps you start sweating (to break your fever) and helps your muscles relax. Sweating is good because it is how your body will get rid of the toxins causing the fever and bring your temperature down.
You can get vitamin C from more things than oranges and orange juice!
Those leafy greens you usually pass up are also great sources of Vitamin C! If you feel yourself starting to get sick, aim for the green and leafy as well as the orange and round. Oranges are not the only citrus fruit that contains vitamin C!
Vitamin C is also found in bell peppers so why not add them to your favorite meals? Not only is the addition of vitamin C infused ingredients to your food great for your taste buds, your immune system will enjoy the added boost to its strength as well.
Drink tea!
Teas that contain peppermint, yarrow and elder are fantastic remedies for people who suffer from a cold or from the flu. To make a very strong tea, put all three ingredients into your tea to get a triple punch against your cold or flu. When you drink these teas you usually start to sweat, which is helpful in fighting colds and flus.
